Not too good
Now on my third attempt to get SP3 on my laptop. The update service keeps giving me an error.Still got the same problem with SP1 on Vista. This stuff used to work all the time. What are they doing??
XP SP3 Fail
Yeah, so I was foolish enough to attemp an install of SP3 on my home PC. It failed during installation, had some strange errors, I rebooted and Windows will not come up (not even in safe mode). Just trying to warn you guys. XP repair install is underway!Add a new comment:
